Store real time monitoring data for charts/reports:
If you wish real-time monitoring data to be written to a database, select this checkbox.
This enables the following fields.
Use the following database:
Click the button on the right to select a database in which you wish to store
the metrics data. If you have already configured the database connection, you can
select it in the tree. To add a database connection, right-click the Database
Connections tree node, and select Add DB Connection.
Alternatively, you can add database connections under the External
Connections node in the Policy Studio tree view. For more information on
configuring database connections, see the Database
Connection topic.
Note:
Service Monitor must be configured to read metrics data from the database that the
Enterprise Gateway is configured to write the metrics data to. For more details, see the
Service Monitor Installation Guide.
Time window to store:
This setting determines the time period over which metrics are accumulated and
enables you to view messages processed over this interval (for example, the number
of messages processed over a 5 second interval). There are three time window sizes
available to specify the granularity of the monitoring data: 5 seconds, 5 minutes,
and 1 hour. When storing metrics into the database, metrics for a 5 second time window
are stored by default. To store metrics for a longer time window size, select a longer
value. It is important to note that storing metrics with shorter time window sizes can
fill the database quickly and may cause reports rendered from the database to be slow.
The time window selected determines when reports are generated and viewed.
Metrics for all time window sizes are always stored and made available
to Service Monitor at the end of the time window interval. All time windows start at
0:00:00, and the count from there uses the specified window: hourly metrics at
hour intervals, 5 minutes at 5 minute intervals, and 5 seconds at 5 second intervals.
For example, if the Enterprise Gateway is configured to store hourly metrics, this data is not
available to Service Monitor until the hour comes to an end.
Finally, it is important to note that if you have configured the Enterprise Gateway
to store metrics using hourly time periods, you can not view metrics for 5
second or 5 minute time windows in Service Monitor. On the other hand, if you
have configured 5 second time periods, you can only view metrics for 5 second
and hourly time windows in Service Monitor, but not 5 minutes.
